Depth profiles of organic carbon (C), biogenic silica (Si), and inorganic phosphorus (P) in Maxwell bay sediments were determined to investigate paleoclimatic changes during Holocene. Organic C and biogenic Si contents generally show a down-core decrease trend, which appears to be mostly controlled by their vertical fluxes through productivity in the surface waters, but it is uncertain that inorganic P contents are directly influenced by productivity changes with time. Before 4000 yr B.p. marine productivity seemed to be almost zero because ice permanently covered the surface waters of the study area. As the climate started to become relatively warm at 4000 yr B.p., ice was sporadically melted in the surface waters and thereby marine productivity gradually increased until 1500 yr B.p. For the last 1500 year, marine productivity must be high enough to overcome the dilution by high terrigenous sedimentation, thus that period was the warmest during the last 6000 year.

수리적인 환경 요인(조석, 바람 등)에 따른 하계 서남극 킹조지섬 마리안 소만의 수층 특성과 부유물질 분산을 이해하기 위해 내만에 유빙이 점유했던 시기에 30분 간격으로 CTDT연속 관측을 수행하였고 공간적인 표층 해수의 특성(수온과 염분)과 부유물질농도가 측정되었다. 소만 중앙의 수층은 탁도의 관점에서 크게 1)저온 ${\cdot}$ 저염 ${\cdot}$ 고탁도의 표층 플름과 2)고온 ${\cdot}$ 고염 ${\cdot}$ 저탁도의 맥스웰 만 유입수로 나누어진다. 소만 안쪽의 빙벽 앞과는 달리 빙하기저부 유출에 의한 담수성 수층이 나타나지 않았다. 고온의 맥스웰 만 표층수와 조수빙하/유빙의 열적 융빙은 표층 혼합층을 발달시키며 특히 소만 내 유빙의 점유와 거동으로 인해 맥스웰 만 유입수의 수층 특성이 불안정해진다. 이러한 수층의 불안정으로 인해 조석주기에 따른 맥스웰 만 유입수와 표층 플름의 거동은 나타나지 않았다. 소만 북부 연안에 나타나는 표층 플름에 비해 고온 ${\cdot}$ 고염 ${\cdot}$ 고탁도 표층 플름은 강한 북서풍 계열의 바람으로 위버 반도 서부 연안을 따라 중앙 분지로 유입되는 연안류이다. 표층 플름의 육성기원 쇄설물은 주로 급경사 연안의 빙벽 가장자리와 일부 해안가의 융설수류로부터 유입되며 조석과 바람에 의해 분산되고 조절된다. 특히 대조차 시기의 북서풍은 고탁도의 표층 플름을 내만에 체류시키며 소만 분지에 육성기원 쇄설성입자의 퇴적을 증가시킨다.

유색 용존 유기물의 빛 흡수와 해빙의 가속화는 수생생태계와 열수지 역동성 간의 양적 피드백에 영향을 줄 수 있으므로 극지 해양에서 유색 용존 유기물의 장기 모니터링이 필요하게 되었다. 그러나 극지 환경에서의 관측은 용이하지 않은 접근성과 거친 기상으로 장기 모니터링이 쉽지 않다. 따라서 유색 용존 유기물의 장기 모니터링 장소로서 남극 세종 기지의 가능성을 확인하기 위해, 마리안 소만과 맥스웰 만에서 유색 용존 유기물의 분포와 외부로부터의 영향을 파악하기 위한 관측을 수행하였다. 맥스웰 만 내의 세종 부두와 세종 곶의 72시간 유색 용존 유기물의 변동성을 관측하고, 외부 영향이 없었던 세종 부두에서 2010년 2월에서 11월까지 10개월간 유색 용존 유기물의 연간 변화와 계절변동을 관측하였다. 세종 부두의 유색 용존 유기물 농도는 가을과 겨울 동안 가장 높고 봄과 여름에 감소하는 뚜렷한 계절 변동성을 보였고, 남극 인근 해역에서 측정된 유색 용존 유기물 농도 자료와 비교하였다. 따라서 우리는 남극해의 열수지에 대한 중요한 요인이자 광화학적 및 생물학적 환경변화에 관한 지시자인 유색 용존 유기물을 장기 모니터링을 위해 적합한 장소로 맥스웰 만의 세종 부두를 제안한다.

Heunginjimun designated as a Treasure No.1 is a two-story wooden structure with 5 bay and 2 bay in its front and side views, respectively. This paper presents an investigation on vibration characteristics of Heunginjimun through both ambient vibration and impact hammer tests. Ambient vibration test was performed to identify the natural frequency of Heunginjimun from the spectrum analysis of time history. Impact hammer test was undertaken to find the frequency of Heunginjimun which is affected by the surrounding traffics and to verify the reciprocal principle for the wooden structural system. Ambient vibration test results of Heunginjimun showed that the natural frequencies in two principal axes 1.5 Hz and 1.1 Hz, respectively. It was confirmed from impact hammer tests for a ground that the frequency of 4.2 Hz is caused by the traffics surrounding Heunginjimun. It was also observed that from the impact hammer test results between two locations in Heunginjimun that the transfer functions measured from two corresponding locations coincided well with each other. This result shows that the wooden structural system is globally linear, and the reciprocal principle is established.

This paper delineated the ecology including movement (departure from the rookery and returning to the rookery), egg-laying, and hatch of the penguins occurred in the cold years and a less cold year in the vicinity of King Sejong Station, King George Island off the Antarctic Peninsula. The years of 1988, 1991, 1992, and 1995 were selected as cold years and the year of 2001 was selected as a less cold year based on the mean annual temperature of the years. Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis papua) left their rookery in May, meanwhile some remained around the station. They returned in middle-September in the less cold .year, and returned in late-September to early-October in the cold years. Chinstrap Penguin (Pygoscelis antarctica) left their rookery in early-April in the cold years as well as in the less cold year without exception. They returned to the rookery in late-October to early-November in cold years, meanwhile in early-October in the less cold year. This difference in the returning of this bird seems to be related with the exposed sea water, i.e., sea ice condition to feed in the sea. The global warming will lead to the appearance of birds which breed in the Sub-Antarctic. For example, one pair of King Penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) was observed in the Maxwell Bay in austral summer. And a pair of snide-like bird was recently observed for the first time in November 2001 at the penguin rookery located in the Barton Peninsula, King George Island. And it will also lead to the disappearance of an Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) which appeared in the full winter when Maxwell Bay and Marian Cove were frozen. It seems that the behaviour of the penguins observed around the station shows the complex effects of the ecology of the birds in combination with the natural environments, which include feeding strategy and areas, animal Instincts, exposed terrain related to weather conditions, and globa1 warming. It is necessary to take further observation and carry out systematic researches on the birds including penguins around the station which show the ecology of the birds as well as the environmental changes.

Penguins are one of the key constituent organisms in the Antarctic ecosystem. A total of 18 species of penguins occur only in the southern hemisphere from the Galapagos Archipelago to southern area off Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, South America, and the islands scattered in the Southern Ocean to the coast along the Antarctic Continent. In the Antarctic Treaty area, there are only 5 species of penguins such as Emperor (Aptenodytes forsteri), Gentoo (Pygoscelis papua ellsworthi), Adelie (P. adeliae), Chinstrap (p. antarctica), and Macaroni (Eudyptes chrysolophus) penguins. Two additional species, the King (Aptenodytes patagonicus patagonicus) and Rockhopper (Eudyptes chrysocome) penguins, however, are distributed within the Antarctic Convergence. In the vicinity of king Sejong Station located in King George Island, the South Shetland Islands off the Antarctic Peninsula, 5 species are observed, among which 2 Pygoscelis species such as the Gentoo and Chinstrap penguins hatch their eggs and raise their chicks at the rookery 2km south offing Sejong Station in summer. Adelie penguins hatch their chicks in other place in King George Island. One Emperor penguin roamed on the frozen Maxwell Bay which has been frozen every two or three years with the approximate thickness of 60cm. And one Macaroni penguin also visited the rookery in summer. We should carry out researches on the penguins occurring in the vicinity of King Sejong Station to monitor the environmental changes around King Sejong Station and the South Shetland Islands.

We investigated seasonal variation of microalgal assemblages, sea water temperature, salinity and suspended solid and the parameters measured daily from January 1998 to October 1999 at a nearshore shallow-water in Marian Cove, Maxwell Bay, King George Island, the Antarctic. Annual mean surface water temperature was -0.3$0^{\circ}C$ and the highest water temperature was 4.53$^{\circ}C$ (22 January 1999) and the lowest water temperature was -2.07$^{\circ}C$ (23 August 1998). Annual mean salinity was 33.38 psu, ranging from 42.80 psu (6 January 1999) to 19.50 psu (6 June 1999). Annual mean suspended solid (SS) during two years was 34.14 mgㆍ1$^{-1}$, ranging from 60.62 mgㆍ1$^{-1}$(7 March 1998) to 12.90 mgㆍ1$^{-1}$ (26 December 1998). Chlorophyll $\alpha$ (Chl $\alpha$) concentrations were measured in order to know seasonal variations of microalgae in the surface seawater. Annual mean of total Chl a concentration was 0.55$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍ1$^{-1}$, the highest Chl $\alpha$ concentration (12.16$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍ1$^{-1}$) appeared in 4 October 1998, the lowest Chl $\alpha$ concentration appeared 0.19$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍ1$^{-1}$, Monthly mean total Chl $\alpha$ concentration was high in October 1998 (1.32$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍ1$^{-1}$) and low in July on 1998 (0.28$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍ1$^{-1}$). Annual mean nano-sized Chl $\alpha$ concentration was 0.40$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍ1$^{-1}$, monthly mean nano -sized Chl $\alpha$ concentration was high in November 1998 (0.90$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍ1$^{-1}$), and low in July 1999 (0.22$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍ1$^{-1}$). Annual mean micro-sized Chl $\alpha$ concentration was 0.15$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍ1$^{-1}$ monthly mean micro-sized Chl $\alpha$ concentration was high in October 1998 (0.81$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍ1$^{-1}$), and low July 1998, January, February and September 1999 (0.05$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍ1$^{-1}$). More than 65% of total Chl $\alpha$ was concentrated during spring and summer time between October and March. Microalgal variation appeared to be due to physical factors of seawater in the Antarctic nearshore from 1998 to 1999. The reason why micro-sized Chl $\alpha$ did not increase during austral summer was the bay had been frozen by decrease of water temperature. We think that total microalgal abundance was decreased because the summer microalgal abundance was determined by variation of water temperature during winter season.
